CRANK No start after replacing starter

Did t belt and w pump. Cleaned intake mainifold, replaced valve cover gaskets and seals because I did a valve adjustment (BARLEY). The car drove fine for a few days then I noticed temp rising randomly and would go back down. Never went over 3/4. At this point I had replaced the entire cooling system As I forgot to mention. Well after a couple days I was getting the random miss fire code so I unplugged the battery replaced 3 coils and checked plugs that I was told have been replaced ngk. Put it all back together and the assessoried worked but car wouldnt turn over. Replaced battery and starter now the car cranks but does not start.

go back over your work, look at every sensor/plug/connection.
Since you did so much, there isnt really a good starting point....you're just gonna have to dive in and look for something wrong or incorrect. maybe a fuse? maybe replaced coilpacks with non-oem? maybe timing is off? maybe battery is dead? maybe starter is bad?
there is so many variables at play and without the car in front of us, it's hard for us to help diagnose it.

Well, you're going to have to begin by getting the car running. A couple of things to check:
  1. Visual inspection of all the plugs you touched.
    1. Check everything is plugged in and no wires were cut i.e. crank & cam sensors, injector and coil plugs, etc..
  2. Is the green "security key" stuck flashing or does it turn off.
    1. Stuck flashing - the immobilizer has disabled the fuel pump. The car will crank but not start
    2. Turns off - immobilizer is not the problem. Continue on.
  3. Scan for codes
    1. Can you communicate with the PCM/ECU?
  4. Does it crank normally or weak?
    1. Weak crank - electrical power loss.
  5. Check for spark
    1. No spark - check for blown fuse for ignition power. Check for cam and crank signal.
    2. Weak spark - electrical power loss
  6. Check for fuel
    1. Check for injector pulse with noid light
    2. Check fuel pressure

Check the + battery cable. At this age, it could be corroded internally where you can't see and not able to carry enough juice to trigger the starter.

If you would have bothered to read the thread, you would know that OP is long gone.

Maybe it's time to start banning people that don't follow-up.

Maybe he's busy with the hurricane and isn't prioritizing AZ over his own life..


Regardless, grounds for ban if you ask me
